Bill, this was very good information. Thank you. It aligns perfectly with what Ed_Dale is teaching. Excellent tips were provided that I have noted. - Wendy J. Roan

thank very much for the great tips! - Portik Z.

says videos are down or can't watch on site..saw that the other day as well..humm - Eric Gehler

It was so successful, they were forced to move to a bigger server. Yet it failed to become 'popular' on Digg: http://talhost.net/digg-sh... <-- Conspiracy? - thefluffanutta

I've seen this - it's absolutely brilliant! I'm a big fan of Joss Whedon & this doesn't disapoint! - Nikki

I'm now going to check this out - I loved his buffy musical - Ed Dale

Make sure you watch this before midnight on Sunday, the videos come down then. - Andrew Nesbitt

Totally and utterly brilliant. And yes, the Musical Buffy episode is one of my favorites, although I find it extremely sad - then again, so is this. I love this, sympathy for the devil kind of viewpoint, as well. Great stuff. And i would have PAID for this, not something i generally do, if i could get itunes for linux... It doesn't seem to want to sell it unless you have itunes which is a shame. - Frann Leach

Laughed so much...my face hurt...brilliant! - Karen Kramer

That would mean that in future we will have websites and blogs in videos more than written articles. - Govindji Patel

Awesome how cool is that and yes serious SEM & SEO implications - JuneM

Not sure about the whole google as broadcast network thing but... here's my next video script: "big game hunting... deep woods... hunting license... bear or dear... great kill... bullseye... in Montanna... high brush... my ghillie suit... good rifle... .22 caliber or .38 caliber... early morning dew... see you next time". - Vince

@Vince Google as a Broadcast Network in terms of attracting the attention of demographics (ie men - women -18-25 etc). Main Stream Commercial Advertisement will shift $ toward the most viewer ship. As Television becomes less popular and internet "viewer ship" increases the $ paradigm shift will take place. From history sake, first it was newspapers, then Television, now Internet. The money will go to where the most people spend their leisure time. Google is preparing for that in all their endeavors. - Eric Gehler

I showed this to a couple of non internet savvy people & it confused the hell out of them - they didn't know what to do & thought those were the only results available - they didn't understand that they could keep typing - I doubt/hope it won't go into use - it would definitely change the playing field. - Ginger G

Scary to think how all SEO efforts could be rendered useless overnight on millions of sites. Would be very keen to learn how Google would determine what keyphrases should be 'suggested' and how this would also affect AdWords campaigns. - Julia Papageorgiou

I've noticed that Google searches on iPhone suggest word completion as you type, but do not push the suggested results. For example, I tried your "London river trips" search on I phone but only got word completion suggestions - and very different search results (at least for the first few visible on the screen). That, of course, could be because I am in the US. Word completion, handy for dealing with little touch and mobile phone keys. Suggest-ed results? Not interested. - Debra Durham

I think the gains and losses in traffic due to shifts between long tail phrases and popular phrases will probably even themselves out in the long run, but there could be some major upsets if Google Suggest suddenly goes mainstream. By the way, have you noticed the search results stats displayed next to the suggestions? Handy. - Andy Roberts

The other thing that might totally change organic search traffic is Google Social Search ( google with digg like functionality added) but that's a year or so off yet. - Andy Roberts

well, could as stated cause abandonment if suggested words are simular to what viewer was looking for, could also be a way for google to monetize those phrases would also change long tail kw effectivness. Note here the lab suggest page is not a default - this is a good thing - JuneM

Been using it for months since you started talking about it back then. Amazing stuff. - Stephen Georgulis from twhirl

I can't retrieve history from my own feed for before May 29th although I know I set it up well before then. - Andy Roberts

Just set it up now. Clueless, as usual, I'm afraid. - Dennis Turner

I have been using FriendFeed for a few weeks. Participation in FriendFeed rooms has been biggest benefit for me. - Roger Carr from twhirl

Active and running! - gareth - MMX Edition

Set up awhile back to access my team's room. Getting the hang of it. - Cindy

I just posted my first link on Friendfeed in the Thirty Day Challenge room and got an immediate response...this is so cool. - Owen O'Malley

Yep, been on here for a while now. - David

Yes and I am loving it. - Lorenzo Rheinicke

Yes, I agree. FF is a great idea. I've decided though rather than add it to Google Reader, to keep it as a separate site - sort of Google Reader for interaction if you know what I mean :-) Every time I open Flock, GR and FF both open together so everything is nicely under control. - Mark McGimpsey

Yes, I have it set up and it's great. Just one problem... I find that I am reading various tweets, posts and feeds multiple times. This is because I've added feeds to Google Reader, then added the same people to FF, then added the RSS feed for FF back to GR... it's a bit like when you set mirrors opposite each other. Anyone got a good suggestion? - James Ward

Ah, a night's sleep helps to answer one's own questions... I'm going to remove from GR and feeds which I have added to FF. As soon as FF is offered as a native iPhone app I'll follow Mark McG's suggestion above. - James Ward

Amazing piece of software. I love it! - Ernesto Diaz

I set up FF but it said my google reader ID is not found and it did that with Facebook also. Anyone have any thoughts? - Susan Bonfiglio

Ed...thanks for the feedback...Friendfeed works...WOW. - Owen O'Malley

Ed, you're a genius. What a fantastic trip down memory lane! - Rich Arnold

Fantastic! I was SO into him as a teenager. THANK YOU!! - Janet McKetchnie

Whatever happend to Yusuf Islam? Wait, I don't care =:-P - Eric Herberholz

Great job, loved it, which he would cut the santa gone mad beard though - JuneM

Really liked the remix. I love Cat/Yusuf's music. Great job! - Susan Bonfiglio

thanks Bob, I was just about to post a link as well, since we doubled up posting in the 30DC Forum - Eric Gehler

Bob, I'm always looking for a great image to use on a web site, worth 1000 copywriters! Thanks for the tip. (Actually I already had an account from last year's 30DC - but I forgot more than many will ever learn last year :) - MyklK (Michael K)

Thank you! I am loving it! - Sheryl Loch

On a similar note, since we're likely to be using video this year I suspect: does anyone know of good sources for music that it's safe to use, please? - Tim Leighton-Boyce

royalty free music here: http://www.chrisworthproductions.com/... - Dave Pook

thanks Bob, great site. - Aldous Lam

good pic site, and reasonable licensing. I like :) - Vince from twhirl

I am surprised that Flickr isn't the leading free stock photography site. :) - Mindy Koch

THAT is absolutely BRILLIANT! - Allison

Very funny and so relevant with #30DC training :-) - Adrian Poermandya
